You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“We recently lost our son unexpectedly and Susan Loomis at McNerney's was wonderful. He had a cremation policy and Susan made all of the arrangements to have him picked up from the coroner’s office and cremated, and she kept us informed throughout the entire process, even making sure I got the necklace he was wearing when he passed. She answered all of our questions and was very supportive and caring, which was a great comfort to us. We were fortunate to be able to get him a niche at Green Hills next to where we will one day be. Susan arranged for his urn to be delivered in a hearse and our older son was able to be the pallbearer. We said a few words about our late son and read some prayers that were meaningful to us, with just our immediate family present, and we were given a small "memory board" that we all wrote on that was affixed to his urn before it was sealed up. It was a lovely simple ceremony and just what we wanted. I can’t recommend McNerney’s and Susan Loomis highly enough. She made a very difficult time easier for us.”

“This was my first time having to arrange services after the loss of a loved one, and I was unsure of what to expect. The staff at Mc Nerneys Mortuary were compassionate, patient, and guided me through every step with care. They answered all my questions, no matter how small, and never made me feel rushed. The facility was incredible beautiful ,clean, peaceful & comforting, and the team handled the arrangements with so much respect. They made a very difficult time a little easier by ensuring everything from paperwork to the service itself was handled smoothly. I’m grateful for their kindness during such a painful moment. Thank you to everyone at McNerney specially Denis for making me feel so loved and welcomed & for helping my family honor our loved one with dignity. I appreciate you guys so much.”
